SubjectRe: [PATCH v2] drm/i915: bounds check execbuffer relocation count

I'd keep the return value as EINVAL so that we can continue to
distinguish between the user passing garbage and hitting an oom. And
total_relocs is preferrable to total, which also leads us to think more
carefully about the error condition. I think the check should be against
INT_MAX / sizeof(struct reloc_entry) for consistency with our other
guard against overflows whilst allocating.
